Ummmm …aktualllly since the flash is faster than light he could rip their hearts out of their chests before they even know it

This pisses me off so much because the implication of saying "flash is faster than light" seem too obvious to literally everyone except the person that wrote it. Like, the flash only has to be as fast as a fighter jet or race car, and he would still be able to hold himself in a fight and be the fastest person on earth.

Why make him so fast?

Because of the silver age of comics. It was a lot sillier. Barry allen could just, casually time travel by running fast and use a potato dehydration to reverse his obesity.

Sure, but every single other super hero sort of became more grounded over time. Superman isn't turning back time by rotating the earth anymore. Yet for some reason, even in the most serious justice league media, the flash in terms of power is literally a god compared to everyone else. He could solve almost every problem instantly. Yet I'm supposed to act like he's just "another one of the heroes". It's like every time they could've given him a limitation, they just said "naw".

How fast is he? Multiple times the SPEED OF LIGHT.😭

Is there a consequence to his body for going really fast? No. He's fine after going at top speeds for entire fights. He can go around the planet to punch someone at top speed and his hand will be fine.

Maybe his brain could be normal and he can't process all that information if he goes too fast? Nope his brain goes super speed too, lol.

Okay, he's overpowered, but at least he can't control reality and time itself right? Right?!

Damn, this guy is pretty powerful. Surely he'll be regularly fighting godlike beings and fixing large scale problems on earth like world hunger? Surely, he won't be fighting average thugs and friendly neighborhood spiderman-type villains...

They tried making the flash more grounded.it had mixed results. Meanwhile, people LIKE the silly stuff. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm a flash fan, and i don't really engage with "who would win" stuff featuring them. "Oh, who would win, strong guy, or guy who can rip strong guy's heart out at the speed of time." Blegh.

Not saying your reasoning is invalid. It's totally fair, but we're just approaching the character for different reasons.

I like the silly stuff too. I love that shit. The problem is that the flash is a DC character. And a DC character in the Justice League. Justice League and modern DC stories usually want to be taken seriously. And they want you to feel threatened by the villains. The flash as he exists with all his powers and abilities is a massive disruption to that. He's a silly character with an absurd amount of power, that they want to be taken seriously. That's why the shows and newer flash comics get so much criticism.

I would love a version of flash that exists outside of DC and the Justice League. A guy that's more like a Saitama or Metro man where all of his problems are larger than life on account of him literally being a time traveling demigod. I think there's a reason that the story where he goes back and saves his mom is so popular for adaptation. It's a conflict that only the flash can solve.
